255+ Local MCP servers with inadequate restrictions or from untrusted sources introduce several critical security risks:
256256
257257- ** Arbitrary code execution** . Attackers can execute any command with MCP client privileges.
258258- ** No visibility** . Users have no insight into what commands are being executed.
259- - ** No review opportunity** . Users cannot inspect the server' s source code or purpose before installation.
260259- ** Command obfuscation** . Malicious actors can use complex or convoluted commands to appear legitimate.
261- - **Ecosystem trust erosion **. Security incidents will cause users to lose trust in MCP servers, harming legitimate server adoption .
262- - **System compromise **. Full system access if the executed commands include privilege escalation .
260+ - ** Data exfiltration ** . Attackers can access legitimate local MCP servers via compromised javascript .
261+ - ** Data loss ** . Attackers or bugs in legitimate servers could lead to irrecoverable data loss on the host machine .
